ola MascOtte'' at the Grand.

| very fair audience greeted Adelaide
Randall and her Bijou Opera Company in
Audran's. popular comic opera of LA
Mascotte" at the Grand Opera House last
! evening. The reputation of Miss Randall
which has preceded her here from
acknowledged centres of criticism, was
completely justified by the manner in which
she played and sang the role of Bettina.
She was extremely fascinating in her rem
dltion OF the character and her voice did
ample justice to the sweet music of the
part. Especially was this true of the
"Gobble Duet" which, as we foretold,
caught on Immediately and it's repetition
was demanded every time it reappeared
which it does eve.i in the last act. In the
second act, as announced, Miss Randall
gave the Lullaby" song from "Erminie"
which was repeated in response to an i'm
perative demand and created a perfect
furore. Miss Randalls voice is clear and
melodious and che reaches the high notes
with an ease and accuracy that is as charm
ing as it is uncommon.
The part Of Pippo, the shepherd lover OF
Bettina, who encounters SO many adven-.
lures and carries so much sympathy and
admiration from the feminine part of the
audiences, was very well taken by Charles
Lang. whose handsome figure and free,
easy action assisted his well cultivated
tenor in presenting s-n undennsoly appfo-
pirate Pippo. His voice is clear and per-
feet in every register.
:. The comic parts of Lorenzo, King of
Piombino, by Arthur Tams, and Rocco, by
James Peakes, kept the house in constant
merriment while they held the stage. They
are artists OF acknowledged merit, and the
way they handled the trombone and clari-
net in the last act wss simply excruciating.
Gertie Hoyt, as Prince Frederick, and
Marion Chester, as Fiametta, played their
parts we'll and sang their scores with ami
nation and precision. Miss Chester makes
a lovely princess in distress, and won
many admirers by the unaffected artless-
ness of her rendition.
Altogether it may be said the Bijou
Company have ''caught on if the enthus-
iasm Of a critical audience, composed Of
the most discriminating amusement goers
in Butte, be any indication, and it un-
doubtedly is. "The Chimes of Nor
which comes on to-ni.ht, is su-
perior in musical attractiveness, plot and |
situations to 1.-The Mascott," and should |
draw full house.
During the third act of The Chimes of /
Miss Randall will introduce !
'Tic-Tac," song OF the clock, from the |
opera OF Nell Gwynne."

The Montana Central Construction
Party at Work-The Scene and the

A visit was yesterday paid by q repre-
sentative OF The MINER to the camp OF
the Montana Central construction party in
Park Canyon. Mr.. Heron, assistant engi-
neer in charge OF the division, was at work
with several transit men on the construc-
tion survey. Trees we're being felled and
burned upon the intended ro te, and q
been begun on the south side !of the noun

struction OF the approach to the tunnel
has advanced thirty or forty feet on the
north side. where the railroad will leave
the mountain on it's way to Butte. At
that point it is an altitude of $500 feet
above the sea level, and in coming thence
to Butte there will be a descent Of 400
feet. To do so the road will have to make
a twist, as Mr.. Heron said. up Yankee
Doodle Gulch. In the canyon the road will
follow the contour of the mountain about
three hundred feet from the summit.
ALREADY THE TENTS .......
and other outfits of the construction
party begin to whiten the canyon. and the
strong wind OF yesterday tested their fast
enings very severely. Some brand new
dirt shovels and other implements lay
near, and several sunburned men with q
waiting orders" air OF expectancy sat or
stood around. In few wee ks this will be
a scene OF busy activity, and the traveller
to Woodville ill pass through thronged
village where lately the murlner OF a bab-
bling brook alone was heard. Other forces
will probably be at work to lend an air Of
stern reality to the landscape in the pres
epce OF rival shebeens, whose proprietors,
like vultures scenting carrion from afar,
will be on hand to skin the sweaty-browed,
sons of toll out OF their
hard-earned $1.5O day with some vii
